I’m now working as a Technical Consultant at Salford Software, a leading IT solutions provider here in the UK. Salford Software are a Novell Platinum partner, Microsoft Gold Partner and and are also partnered with Sun and Oracle.

I wasn’t able to attend Brainshare, but I had the opportunity to study the slides of a presentation by Jason Williams, Senior Product Manager at Novell, about forthcoming developments in Open Enterprise Server which are due out, as part of an update, in the final quarter of 2008.

I am currently working on contract in Nottingham. I am involved in a number of projects, the most interesting of which recently was implementing Novell Storage Manager. It’s one of those Niche products that you may not have heard of, but it’s absolutely excellent at what it does. Novell Storage Manager is a policy based, event driven, storage management system primarily focused on the automatic provision of user home directories.
